Email ListsEmail Lists are an easy and effective method for communicating with your unit members. Email Lists can be used to create a single email address such that will forward email to multiple unit members at the same time. You can create lists to communicate with all unit members at once and also create lists to communicate with subgroups within your unit. Examples are:
Email Lists protect unit members from SPAM by only allowing authorized unit members to send email to the list. A variety of options are availablefor determining who is authorized to send email to an Email List. Email AliasesAn Email Alias will create an email address on for your unit that will forward email to another email address. Examples of email aliases are 'cubmaster', 'troopmaster', and 'treasurer'. Email aliases can be used to setup generic email addresses for unit leadership that will remain constant while actual unit leaders change over time. When a unit leader changes, just change the email alias forward-to address! Here is an example to further describe the Email Alias feature. Lets say you are part of Pack 111 from Nortfield, Illinois and your SOAR unit website is http://northfield111.mypack.us. Your Cubmaster is John Jones and his email address is jjones@yahoo.com. You can create an email alias cubmaster@nortfield111.mypack.us. When email is sent to this address, it will be automatically forwarded to jjones@yahoo.com. Two years from now, John Jones moves on with his son to Troop 111 and Cindy Knowles becomes the new Cubmaster. You can change the Cubmaster@ alias to her email address of cindy_k@yahoo.com and all email will now be forwarded to her. Email & EBlastThe Advanced package comes with the following Email features.

New Feature: Enhanced Inline Document SupportA number of document formats (PDF, Text, etc) when downloaded would ask to open a new window or application. The system has been updated to display all image files, text files, HTML files, and PDF documents "inline" - right in the browser window without opening another application.

Bug Fix: Document SecurityThe core content management system that sits behind SOAR's services has issued a new set of security patches. These patches fix a potential security issue whereby documents could be downloaded without logging into the system. Once such security issue was identified by a customer. The patches have been applied and tested. The security issue has been resolved. You will now notice that all files to be downloaded (File section, Attachments, and Photos) now use the /system/files path gain access. This path is now properly security and requires an individual to login prior to access. Th By soar at 2006-11-22 21:03 | read more
